WebElement ele = driver.findElement(by locator)); //find the text field

if (ele.getAttribute("value").isEmpty()) {
    //Do something if the text field is empty
}
else {
    //Store the value
    String store=ele.getAttribute("value");
}

var element = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.id("your elements id"));
//store text
var text = element.getText();
//store value
var value = element.getAttribute("value");
//after that you can do anything you want with these variables.

Access value attribute of the <input> web element. Following is an example:

WebElement inputBox = driver.findElement(By.id("inputBoxId"));
String textInsideInputBox = inputBox.getAttribute("value");

// Check whether input field is blank
if(textInsideInputBox.isEmpty())
{
   System.out.println("Input field is empty");
}

Hope it helps!
